    I had another question.. What did you think of my website did u think it was professional did u think it looks competittive with others??
    Criticism is fine with me...
    And with my ad running in the paper...
    In the past I have ran in the same paper and gained over 10 customers in a 2 month span from it...


    The wording I sent youl.. does it sound all right or sohuld I reword it a little bit

    Okay, let's see how many minutes it takes to appear in a Google search.

    Please open another browser and do a search for Chicago, IL Cleaning Service.

    Thanks!

    I think that you could put more of the names of the cities in there where you'll be willing to work.

    That's one way to improve your ad.

    That specific paper is mailed directly to 250,000 homes only within the main areas of my interest.. its actually a real neat advertisement paper.. cause people don't have to go buy it and it comes in the mail for free! Right in their mailboxes.. that is why I don't say in it where I do job.. does that makes sense? I hope lol

    If you're going to be placing ads on the Internet on classified sites or on a website, it's best to be listing as many keywords as you can.

    I once had someone who was looking for goats in Iowa (they are an animal rescue) decide to have their piano tuned because they accidentally came across my ad for piano tuning.

    I'll be back on here at about the same time tomorrow night. I'm sure that Stringer would like to give his input also. He really knows about this type of industry. My particular expertise is with advertising and promotion.

    Thanks!

    Sometimes I even put things like Quad Cities lowest gas prices, or something else in my ads so that people will find me by accident.

    I haven't gotten too adventuresome with that though, but I think that sex and politics would be a couple of other areas where people could be drawn to my ads because of what they are looking for.

    I wish and hope for you a goodnight and also a great weekend! :)

    I was just thinking (perish the thought!) and forgot, that one thing that you should also put in your ads and on any websites you have is your first and last name.

    Doing that will help to give you credibility. It's been mentioned to me previously by a customer, that by my putting enough personal information in an ad, it helped them in their decision to contact me.

    Thanks!

    13 hours later, you're towards the top on the second page of a Google search. I'm sure that we can get you on the first page at the top or near the top.

    I'm on right now, Cleaningman23, and I'll also be on later tonight starting at about 10:00 P.M.

    In answer to your questions in post #52, different advertising sites will vary greatly in the amount of days, months or even years that ads can be run on them. I would flood any one site with the same kind of ads though, because all of them that I've used don't like spam.

    Thanks!
